The New York Subway Diagram

News:

A portion of the Subway Diagram features in Mark Ovenden’s new book Transit Maps of the World, published by Penguin, October 30, 2007. If you are here looking at my diagram, you’ll probably want to be looking at his book too. (It’s a revised edition of Metro Maps of the World, 2006, which was not published in the USA and did not include my diagram.)

The Subway Diagram announced its retirement back in May 2005, but after a year off it came crawling back. That is, I found a way to crank up Claris Works on OS 9 and make it run again, and just as surprisingly I found myself wanting to do so. The Diagram thanks Yuri Popov once again for stepping in and providing a version 4.27 for an eager public during the hiatus. However now in 2007 my acquisition of an Intel iMac once again poses a challenge to updating the subway map: no more OS 9 for me. Chances are the version 5.0 series will look a bit different.
